Salsa Warbird Carbon Rival 22 (2015)

Our carbon Warbird, fitted with SRAM Rival 22, is built around our proven gravel racing geometry, and features the Class 5 VRS™ (Vibration Reduction System). Specially shaped seatstays with a tall, thin, vertically oriented profile promote vertical compliance by allowing them to "flex" outwards on impacts. The horizontally oriented chainstays work to resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end. A lack of bridges on the seatstays and chainstays allows the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility, and a rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking while allowing the seatstays to provide that incredible compliance. Up front, the tapered steerer and 15mm thru-axle Warbird Carbon Disc fork provides an incredible ride. SRAM’s Rival 22 drivetrain keeps you moving forward through the dust and grit, while Rival hydraulic brakes take care of slowing you down. The DT Swiss R24 wheelset is tubeless compatible for comfort and extra defense against flats on the most minimally serviced roads.
